A full screen MixConsole is a wunderful idea - but it is absolutely useless with this strange behaviour. Every time one has to manually shrink the channel wide and switch back the transport bar again. I mean, this is an absolute showstopper - has really nobody noticed this yet?

Steinberg! Hello?! After 1 year and 7 updates - what is sooo difficult to keep the fullscreen channel wide the same as in child window view?

They didn't fix it in 7.01, nor in 7.02, nor in 7.03, nor in 7.04, nor in 7.05 nor in 7.06, nor in 7.07 ... so why do you feel so optimistic now?

I don't. In fact, I'm (un)happily on 7.04 right now. (That last version with small text)

I don't use the mixer for anything besides the occasional routing; the channel settings window generally handles everything. Otherwise, I use a macro that shows mixer 2 with the currently selected tracks. It's too inefficient for normal use.

That being said, if you rely on the mixer for your work, I feel your pain.

Example I don't have theses problems. Think about it!

Freddie, would you mind sharing which problems these users are reporting that you're not experiencing on your end? For instance; the mixconsole probs?

Perhaps they could be of help to those who are experiencing the issues. Thank you

I mean that is not some kind of a hidden botch-up. It is such a clearly evident and often reported bug that it is out of all reason, why Steinberg did not get it mended yet...

Hi Fantacyzer,

I just updated Cubase Elements to 7.0.7 and tried to reproduce your problem with factory settings, i.e. I trashed my preferences. Though the transport bar was indeed missing after maximizing and minimizing the Mix Console (Elements doesn't have a full screen option), the width of the tracks didn't expand as in your screenshots. Could you please try that yourself and report back? Trash your preferences and start a new empty project.

Hi Luis,thank you for chiming in!

Ok, now I completely unistalled Cubase, deleted the "C:\Users\Konto\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg" folder und reinstalled Cubase Elements and the 7.07 update. I used all the factory settings without any changes. I then created and tested a completely new 7.07 project. In the attachment you find a "storyboard" of this procedure, that shows you step by step the emergence of the described channel-widening-effect:

By the way, I'm using a plain vanilla Win7-32bit system, Intel i3 CPU&Graphics, 2GB Ram, SSD, Monitor 1920x1080. My system is so performant and stable, that I never had all these Cubase-7 performance troubles that so many users are complaining about. This MixCon viewing bug certainly is not system dependent.

It also happens when you double click on the title bar of the MixConsole window.

The irony of the story: Steinberg very prominently promotes the fullscreen ability of the new Cubase mixer - and just this of all features has such a misbehaviour that renders it useless. This misbehaviour is so clearly visible and should be so easy to fix (it's just a parameter value), that one wonders why all those beta testers, developers and especially the "quality assurance team" has never noticed it...

I'm sorry, but I still can't reproduce it on my Windows 8 with Elements 7.0.7 and fresh preferences. I have tried it with new projects, existing projects, a lot of tracks, only 2 tracks, in different screens, etc. But I still don't get the issue you describe.
